Reviews From Guests

Naomi was nice. Her accommodation was not appropriate for two people due to the bed and overall space in the room. The neighborhood may not be the best for tourists looking for a relaxing place to stay.

Sandra is the reason why one may question ever using Airbnb. Why take the risk of inviting a complete stranger into your home? They may abuse, steal, destroy... and then I remember the over 100 guests I've had stay at my house and how wonderful THEY were. How my own life has improved just by meeting them- and how the world gets smaller every week. Sandra did not like my home. (I think she wanted a more lovers/quiet getaway though my profile and reviews do not warrant that opinion.) So without even communicating with me, cowardly contacted Airbnb with some heightened opinions and demanded her full refund so she could stay in another home. This is the type of person Sandra is. Its disheartening. Things can be worked out in a more positive way. Always.
We all have to live in this world together.

I had an awesome time staying here. This is a great spot to explore New Orleans from - an easy walk to everywhere you want to go and a quiet, safe neighborhood to walk home to at night.
Naomi was super welcoming and helpful. I didn't get to see much of her as I was busy doing my own thing but she gave me heaps of useful info and offered to include me in all the stuff she was doing.

I wish I could formulate into words the kindness and welcoming spirit that Naomi showed me when I stayed the weekend with her. We laughed, we drank, we ate and danced. She showed me the perfect time out in NOLA. The room was perfect and the bed was crazy comfortable.
I can't thank her enough. Definitely be ready for a good time but if you just wanna do your own thang, thats cool too! Don't be afraid to ask whats awesome and whats not. She will gladly point you in the right directions.
I feel like a made a wonderful friend.

I had a good time staying in Naomi's home and in Bywater. She is a very nice person although I was sad I did not get to spend too much time with her during my trip. I would say to anyone thinking about staying here that if you are looking for an experience like staying at a friend's home in a real neighborhood then you will be happy here. If you are looking for something fancy or more hotel-like in the touristy area of town then keep looking. I was in town for a conference and it was too far to walk so I rented a bike from A Bicycle Named Desire which is something I would highly recommend if you're staying in this neighborhood- it makes everything in the city much more accessible. Thanks Naomi for a great trip!!

I had an incredible time staying with Naomi. As soon as I arrived at her home, she gave me a nice tour and took me around the neighborhood. The accommodations are as described (the bed will make you want to sleep for days). If you are a first timer in New Orleans, I would highly recommend staying at her house. Overall, AWESOME.
P.S. I locked her out of her own home and she was still incredibly nice and forgiving.

Naomi was an amazing host. Right after I arrived she took me out to eat and recuperate, even though I arrived late in the evening. She is one of the most cordial and inclusive individuals I've ever met. I'm pretty sure each night of my stay she had an invitation waiting for me to go to a ball or event. The room was perfect and described accurately, comfortable and quiet. The house is beautiful and in the best part of New Orleans. I'm really happy to have had the chance to stay with Naomi and hope our paths cross in the future!

KATE! You are SO wonderful and patient!!! I hope your heart is full of love and adventure, please feel free to stay in touch. aaaand thank you so much for the sweet gift, Sophia enjoyed it very much too. xoxo

Naomi was a great host. She greeted us at the door and was in contact with us before we arrived in NOLA. She was not an overwhelming host and was there to help whenever. She answered all of my questions when I texted her throughout the duration of our trip.
The best part abut the location was that it was within walking distance of everything but still far away enough from the business of NOLA so that we didn't have to worry about the noises of the city. Also, the neighborhood was decent. Even late at night we were able to walk around and feel comfortable.
My only concern that it was a bit warm where we stayed. We had a fan that Naomi kindly loaned us but that was the only "issue" and I'm hesitant to even use that word because we had a great stay besides that.
I would recommend Naomi as a host and her location. Also, if I didn't mention this earlier Naomi is extremely friendly. It really helped put us at ease. Thank you so much Naomi!

I booked Naomi's room because of the rave reviews I read, thinking really, can it be that good? Well, yes it is and she certainly is. A real experience with a really special person. Thanks Naomi, I plan to be back.

Since I am writer, one would think I can write a simple review about my stay with Naomi, but that would be a lie. The fact is that she was more than what I expected as host and the only disappointment I have is that we did not get to hang out more aside from my final night in NOLA. She made me not only feel welcomed, but in reality gave me what I have been wanting as it relates to New Orleans, which is the true local and genuine experience. She was kind, warm, friendly, & made my stay truly epic. Her home is really in a unique neighborhood and I must say, the energy and magic is felt upon entering her home, for its truly a positive and artistic ambiance. Myself being a person who is touch with such things of that nature can feel that and it made my stay more inviting. Yet be careful, that bed she provides for your stay is like sleeping on clouds because I would return on my nightly adventures and slept with no issues. Naomi also knew the local areas (The Country Club and Mimi's) where I could experience the deeper aspects of NOLA as she introduced me to many of the locals she personally knew and let me tell you that alone, made me want to move there even more because I felt like I was right where I was supposed to be. She even gave me a reason to smile with her beautiful singing voice on my last day as she saw that I was becoming more sad as my final moments in the city neared. There is nothing more I can say other than Thank you for the experience Naomi, you have no idea how much this trip and your hospitality really impacted me both emotionally and mentally. If I must visit the city before I move, she will be my first choice and recommend her place to anyone who asks.

A great place to stay. Location is brilliant as lots of sights are within easy walking distance. Finally Naomi is a fantastic host with a really good vibe. Let's you have your privacy but is also very fun and showed me some interesting places to go out.

Naomi is a wonderful host and overall a fun, interesting & witty lady. I had a fab time staying with her, going dancing and getting a small glimpse into her life in NOLA. Hope our paths cross again in the future!
You're a gem xx

Naomi is rad. She taught me how to drive a manual trans when I first moved to LA because I need to buy a cheap car. She's the sweetest girl you know, upbeat, charming and a blast. She is a great host and guest. Love this chick.

Hello, everyone! Naomi and I go waaayyy back to 2002--we were first co-workers at music television station and later became friends. She is an incredibly warm, down-to-earth, effervescent person who knows how to have a great time. Not only is she's fun-loving, she's also has a great work ethic and believes in executing tasks with quality and efficiency. I point this out because part of being a great host/hostess is not just the having personality for it but it's also being possessing those qualities that have more to do with being the kind of person you can feel good about doing business with (such as being bright, attentive, responsive, flexible, conscientious, responsible, and fair). Highly recommend her as a host! :oD

Naomi is a fun,entergetic and warm person. She makes everyone that stays with her feel like they are welcome and already part of her fun life here in New Orleans! She knows about all the amazing things to see in do in the Bywater. She is the perfect Host!!

I've known Naomi for the better part of a year now, and we met through mutual friends at a backyard party and film-screening that she and her charming friends hosted at her super-cool home in the Bywater neighborhood. Naomi is a one of the brightest and most engaging souls I've ever met, beautiful inside and out. She always lets me know "where the party's at," and is a true friend, full of love and goodness. If you wanna stay at her place, go for it. It's right near GREAT places to eat and drink and party, including the Country Club - and her place is Real Live New Orleans, and Naomi's an angel, 4 sure ;o)

this girl is legit. whether you are looking to spend time in nola as a laid back tourist or as a party animal this is the perfect rental for you. i moved to new orleans a few months ago and was lucky enough to move across the street for this unique lady. by far one of thee most well connected people in new orleans, naomi is a sweet and energetic girl who is adaptable to all kinds of people, but even more so accepting of them. If you are looking to make new friends or need some one steer you in the right direction while in the city then naomi is your gal....at naomi's new adventures await you!
